Abstract
A random sample of 140 individuals from the population of Valparaíso, Chile, was studied for 2 polymorphic genetic markers. The gene frequency estimates were: ACP*A = 0.246 +/- 0.026 and PGM1*2 = 0.235 +/- 0.025. The comparison of ACP with data obtained from other populations indicates a similarity with Mongoloid groups whereas for PGM1, the comparison with the data obtained shows no significant difference from Caucasoid populations. These results indicate that the Valparaíso population is the result of genetic admixture of various populations.
